The Goblin Writes at Night || Her Poetry
 
So the plan is to share poetry here that I write impromptu-ly-ish. I might write it during the day, but most likely I'll write it more towards night when I need something to do. Read, enjoy, don't enjoy, whatever, just share your thoughts! =D

Oh, and please do not steal my writing, because it is mine and not yours.

Thanks for dropping by!

Is this Regret I'm Feeling?

I could have given you morning sunlight
Golden gems to be strewn throughout your hair
Falling in dark waves to your
Waist that I once encircled with my hands

I could have gifted you with evening
Woven you a dress of the silk fibers of dusk
Slid silver rings onto your slender fingers
Anointed with the radiance from the first star

I could have salved your fears of the
Stranger that I am and the
Stranger that you never were with
Words so smooth and mysterious eyes

I lost my kingdom to you when my
Heart lost its shell and began to
Bleed out the key in a song

OOOOoooo that is so lovely!

Howdy! It's another impromptu poem of mine. =D Enjoy and please leave your thoughts!

I, the Breeze, Loved a Lily

When the sun released its flare
And the moon hid its face from the blinding light
I spun golden baubles into your hair
And whispered dreams of a lily-white night

You lay in my arms silently
Eyes closed so your ears gave me all their attention
A single dew-drop on each pale eyelid
I resisted the longing to kiss them away
For it would mean the breaking of the day

I turned you around silently
Swaying in place
A soundless waltz that lasted forever
And one second
You left my embrace and stood watching me
With those dew-drops tracing trails down your pale cheeks

Another poem. Song lyrics, actually. They were inspired by the movie Labyrinth, especially the ballroom scene.

Secret Universe

I'll fly you up between the stars
I don't know if you're broken
Or just cold
Here's to hoping the moonlight
Will heal your scars
Here's hoping the mysteries
Of our heartbeats will unfold

Your heartstrings all form
Such a tangled web
I know my own heart's chambers
Are but a maze
Let me spin from you a silver thread
To guide you through these
Never-ending days

All the bodies of heaven are now aligned
Take my hand and I'll walk with you
Across the dreamland of our eyes locked
Together we will dance
Just you and I
To the music of the universe
Our own secret universe

I'll soar with you beyond the sun
I don't know if you remember what
You've been told
Just look for me and no-one else
I'm the true silver key
That will fit in your heart's mold

Your dazzled eyes both seem
To see within a dream
I know my own are trapped
When your lashes close over those
Crystalline caverns in which I’ll wander
Forever seeking the one precious stone
That will make you mine
Mine alone

All the bodies of heaven are now aligned
Take my hand and I'll walk with you
Across the dreamland of our eyes locked
Together we will dance
Just you and I
To the music of the universe
Our own secret universe

Dancing forever
A waltz of love
Tell me truly
Precious thing
Can you feel it too?

All the bodies of heaven are now aligned
Take my hand and I'll walk with you
Across the dreamland of our eyes locked
Together we will dance
Just you and I
To the music of the universe
Our own secret universe

If needed, I'll merge these last two posts together.

Wow. First, Love the name of your thread. XD That's what mainly caught my attention.
Second:: I love what you've written so far. Especially I, The Breeze, Loved a Lily. That is my favorite.

Goblin Maiden 07-24-2009 03:58 AM

Hooray!!! Thank you so much. I like the name, too. =D It reminds me of a goblin hunched over with spectacles, writing in an old parchment tome with a feathered quill!

Stormy1 07-24-2009 04:14 AM

lol for real *coughHarryPottermuch?Cough* ^^;;

Harry Potter AND Labyrinth. Two kinds of goblins, two kinds of awesome. 8D

Stormy1 07-24-2009 10:10 PM

Hmm, never seen Labyrinth. Though my friends tell me its a good movie. But, goblins are just awesome creatures all around. :]

Although I like this one, the rhyme scheme is jarring...It draws the readers mind from the poem. I know you said it was impromptu, but you may consider changing it a bit in revising? Just my thoughts...

Goblin Maiden 07-25-2009 04:01 AM

Hmmm, looking over it, I see what you mean. O__O;; But I am tired and my brain has the dumb, and so I don't feel up to concentrating on revising it right now...
